MULTITUDE MONDAY

view from the upstairs outside balcony.



It's a sleepy, drizzling, overcast day here

Don't have anything on the agenda

I think it's time again

 for me to

count some more blessings!

I know I'll never get finished

but at least I can start!


Count your blessings, name them one by one,
Count your blessings, see what God hath done!
Count your blessings, name them one by one,
And it will surprise you what the Lord hath done.

Let's go!! 

1. The gift of time to do just what He lays upon my heart
2. An answer to prayer - our d-i-l got a job
3. A godly friend is now in the Presence of Whom he believed
4. Opportunity to carry grieving, loved ones in prayer
5. New friends in blogland




You are welcome to join:

Oh how right you are to be counting our blessings. For some reason, the human nature I guess, to to sometimes get overwhelmed by the burdens that we feel we are under. So that all it takes is just a little adjustment of our thoughts and feelings to get back on the right path. Of course that can only happen with God's abundant graces out there for us. So enjoy having you stop by and visiting you here. Always an encouraging word. Blessings

I enjoy seeing the view from your terrace! It seems to be really flat where you live! It does look like a dismal day! A great day to count blessings. You are one of my blessings, as a new blog friend. Your wonderful encouraging comments are like a breath of fresh air!

What a wonderful thing -- to count our blessings each and every day -- or possibly several times a day!

Good advice! Counting my blessings is a daily ritual with me because it's easy to forget that there are millions of people who are way worse of than oneself!

I grew up with the Baptist Hymnal firmly placed in hand during church. I enjoyed your post and reading all your blessing.

The song is so right when we do look back we are somtimes surprised what the Lord has done. It's good to give Him all the honor and glory.

PS Enjoy your rain.

Peter’s mother had five children from a previous marriage; with Karl she had Klaus, Peter and Renate. Klaus, Renate and Peter at their last visit So glad Renate was able to visit for a few weeks before Peter died.  Karl immigrated to Canada in 1950, settling in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and Martha and the children followed later. Tragically, Peter's mother, Martha, died of cancer shortly afterwards. After spending a year in the care of his Tante Emma, he was reunited with his father, who had remarried. His step-mother Anna’s deep personal faith led the family into the community at the German Mission Baptist Church, where the entire family was baptized on November 6, 1955. Foreshadowing God’s ...

Welcome all BATW visitors !! Debbie does a wonderful job taking us to fascinating places around the world! Thank you so much! So, grab a hot chocolate, or that second cup and enjoy the visit. Here are some facts about the Province of Alberta, part of western Canada, where we've lived for 37 years! Thanks to Doris for this lovely winter scene! Didn't have my own! It's winter here now but we do get the four seasons and they are beautiful. Love this photo - thanks Evi! The days are getting longer and soon we will have spring again! The trees should have green leaves by Mother's Day! Alberta's license plates read, WILD ROSE COUNTRY. Click on the rose to read more about it! Alberta had it's centennial celebrations in September '05! We're still quite young! If a 21 year old had ten bucks to his name in 1905 he could buy 64 hectares - over 150 acres. Of course it had stipulations, but wouldn't that be fantastic nowadays. I'd even pay $1000.00, oh ...
